In the problem, we are tasked to solved for the amount of carbon (C) in the acetone having a molecular formula of C 3 H 6 O. We need to find first the molecular weight if Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O).
Molecular Weight:
C=12 g/mol
H=1 g/mol
O=16 g/mol
To calculate for the percent by mass of acetone, we assume 1 mol of acetone.
%C=
%C=62.07%
Therefore, the percent by mass of carbon in acetone is 62.07%
Answer: shining a bright light on the object and testing for decomposition
Decomposition is the separation of a molecule into its elements or simpler compounds.
And a chemical property is the ability of a
substance to combine or to become one or more substances.
Then, testing the ability of an object for decomposition is testing a chemical property.
Answer:
The various uses of water :
1. Water is used for daily purpose like cooking , bathing , cleaning and drinking.
2. Water is used as a universal solvent.
3. water maintains the temperature of our body.
4. Water helps in digestion in our body.
5 .water is used in factories and industries.
6. Water is used to grow plants , vegetables and crops.
The balanced chemical equation for the production of chromium metal from the reaction of chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc is:
3 Zn + 2 Cr(NO₃)₃ → 2 Cr + 3 Zn(NO₃)₂
This is a redox reaction, which <u>is a chemical reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred between the reagents</u>, causing a change in their oxidation states. In the proposed reaction, Cr oxidation state goes from +3 to 0, becoming metallic chromium, while Zn goes from being Zn⁰ to Zn²⁺.
<u>The mass of chromium metal produced in the above reaction will be,</u>
425.0 mL x 
x 
x 
x 
= 5.52 g
So, the mass of chromium metal produced when 425.0mL of 0.25M chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc that remains in excess is 5.52 g of Cr.
